A parody of the first music video to appear on MTV : Buggles with "Video Killed the Radio Star". This is my first endeavor on my own (I miss Herb!) so I went completely low-key - all video shot on the iPhone 4 and edited in iMovie with no frills. Vocals were self produced in GarageBand with a Snowball mic. This project was created as my digital artifact submission to a Massive Open Online Course I'm taking through Coursera- "E-Learning and Digital Cultures" (#edcmooc).Special thanks to my daughter and husband, who helped with the artwork, sets, and performing.

Lyrics by Amy Burvall

We've had the Internet since 1992And now I never have a sense of "what to do?"Because we're all just nodes- connecting- me and you

Oh-a oh

We wonder if all information should be freeAnd with our education -- how "tech" could it be?..If our devices might change our biology

Oh-a ohI'll get my Mac ProOh-a ohand go to Google

Digital Life has changed who we areDigital Life has changed who we are

We're binary in our hearts

Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we tweet and blog and hashtag all our thoughtsOur children start to play with personal robotsNothing is real until we Instagram our shots

Oh-a ohYou gotta post itOh-a ohthat makes it Le-git

Digital Life has changed who we areDigital Life has changed who we are

GPS to drive my carmy phone finds me restaurants and bars

Oh-a- ohOh-a-oh

Digital Life has changed who we areDigital Life has changed who we are

Sometimes I think it's so bizarreI'm with you but my mind is far

Distraught when I lose Wi-Fi barsjust want to be a YouTube star........a viral video star
